Hearty Marinara Sauce: 15-Minute Recipe
This Hearty Marinara Sauce only uses a few pantry staples, and you can make it in the same amount of time it takes to cook a bag of pasta.
Equipment
- 1 sauté pan large
Ingredients
- 796 grams tomatoes canned, whole
- 6 cloves garlic or more, to taste
- 1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- 2 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 1 sprig fresh basil optional
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-low heat, and add the garlic and red pepper flakes (if using).
- While the garlic is gently warming up (keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t brown), pour the tomatoes into a medium-sized bowl, and squish them to your desired texture.
- Add the squished tomatoes to the garlic in the pan.
- Add the salt, and stir everything to combine.
- Turn the heat to medium-high. Once the tomato mixture starts to bubble, reduce the heat back down to medium-low, and allow the mixture to cook for 10 minutes. Now would be a good time to add fresh basil if you’re using it.
- Enjoy it right away, or store it for later. this amount of sauce is enough for 1 lb of pasta.
